A new government in India is taking shape. With a growing economy and a vibrant democracy, New Delhi under a revitalised Modi 3.0 is going to be a critical player on the global stage.

China has gifted 1,500 tonnes of water from the Tibetan glaciers to Maldives, the second such donation in less than two months, a media report said on Friday.

China said on Monday it would seek to strengthen ties with the Maldives, after pro-Beijing President Mohamed Muizzu's party won control of parliament in an election landslide.

Ghazal Alagh was travelling in a chopper from Mumbai to Nashik and recorded a video of her experience. She compared the scenic beauty of the route to that of the Maldives.

The new Maldives president set a deadline on Sunday of March 15 for India to withdraw all its troops from the tiny Indian Ocean archipelago nation.

India should certainly be alert about the proximity of Maldives to China and the government must be aware of the danger that this represents, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said here on Sunday.
